piecework- Factory workers who work the fastest produce the most items earns the most money.
Piecework caused issues in factories because the children sometimes could not work as fast as adults, but some children worked faster than older adults. The children would try to work as fast as they could, and while they were doing this they could hurt themselves on a machine. Sometimes it could cause incidents like getting your hand or fingers chopped off. Piecework also helped the cost of items to lower because more of the products were being produced at one time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece_work
